Didn't Kaya win first place, followed by kasai then lucy

You sit in an alleyway, facing your teacher, Kasai, as your friend Bruce keeps watch for anyone approaching. You'd have a hard time explaining this to somebody, so it's probably better to avoid that altogether.

Your palms are facing skyward, mimicking your teacher, who allows small flickering flames to dance around her hands. Creating a tiny flame is pretty easy for you now, but what Kasai is about to teach you could prove difficult.

"Earlier, you surrounded your hands with flames," she reminds you. "That means you already have some ability to direct and command the fire beyond simply bringing it out of your hands."

The flames in her palms slowly grow in size, and lift a few inches higher above her hand, swelling and beginning to change shape.

"With the right focus and willpower, you can use your Spirit Energy to make the flames take different forms," Kasai tells you, as her flames slowly transform into spheres. "Creating orbs of fire is one of the simpler examples, and a good training exercise for you now."

She rises to her feet, and throws one of the fireballs into the air, catching it in her open palm as it descends back towards the ground. The two spheres shrink in size, and she closes her hands, extinguishing them.

"They can make for useful projectile attacks," she continues. "I'm sure you'll find them helpful in a fight somewhere down the line."

>D. Create a sphere of fire, then squeeze it until it becomes a fire blade. Fiyah sword! Fiyah sword!

>>41631233
Taking Kasai's advice, you use your Spirit Energy to mold the flames, first feeding them and allowing them to grow in size, then shaping them into spheres much like she did. As she warned, it takes focus and willpower to create the orbs of flame, and ultimately the process takes you nearly five minutes, meaning that, until you've practiced, fireballs won't be a very practical attack in combat.

"Well done," she compliments, smiling in approval. "You are a quick learner, indeed."

"Dude...that's so cool," Bruce tells you from the end of the alley, staring at the fiery spheres floating above your palms.

"Now, take Spirit Energy away from the flames, let them shrink, then snuff them out," Kasai instructs you.

>A. Follow her instructions, take energy from the flames before putting them out

>B. Throw them up in the air and attempt to catch them

>>41631531
>A. Follow her instructions, take energy from the flames before putting them out

We'll try juggling them later. As a party trick or something.

>>41631531
>A. Follow her instructions, take energy from the flames before putting them out

>A. Follow her instructions, take energy from the flames before putting them out

So should we try first making daggers or throwing knifes after we get the better hand of creating fire balls?

>>41631565
You decide not to try juggling, at least not yet, and instead follow Kasai's instructions, taking energy away from the flames, and causing them to shrink in size until they're small enough to close your hands around. You snuff out the flames much faster than you created them, the entire process taking a matter of seconds rather than minutes.

"Very good," Kasai tells you. "Now, I want you to create and destroy spheres like those until you're able to do it in seconds. You won't have minutes to spare in a fight."

"Yeah, I don't think any demons are just gonna stand there and let you get your attack ready," Bruce agrees. "That would just be stupid."

Kasai glances over at Bruce before looking back to you. "He's right, you need to be able to strike fast. So, it's time for you to practice."

For the next hour you repeat the process of creating and destroying spheres of fire, the practice becoming more tiresome the longer you do it despite the fact that you reclaim most of the energy you spend each time you drain power from the flames. It's not without payoff, however, as you manage to shave about ten seconds off of the time it takes to create fireballs. It's clear that mastering this technique will take you some time.

"Maybe you should stop for today," Kasai suggests. "You have done well, and can continue tomorrow."

>>41632153
You're getting tired, so you decide to follow Kasai's suggestion and take a break. Seeing no more reason to watch for other people when you aren't doing anything, Bruce comes to stand at your side.

You look up at Kasai, and ask, "When can I absorb fire like you? Is that more advanced? And will it replenish my Spirit Energy?"

"I don't think human can absorb flames they haven't created themselves," Kasai tells you. "I am a fire apparition, so fire is a piece of what I am. I can draw strength from it, but humans are different."

"Bummer," Bruce says. "You could have been a great firefighter."

"The stronger you become with fire powers, the more resistant you will be to flames," Kasai tells you. "You might not be able to absorb them, but, become strong enough, and they won't harm you."

>C.

>>41632389
With your training done for now, you decide to follow through with what you suggested to Koe earlier, and call Spirit World.

Retrieving your Communication Mirror, you attempt to contact Kaya as you have in the past, but when the call is answered, and a face appears on the screen, it is not that of your former assistant, but rather, your former employer.

"Well, I was expecting this call sooner or later," Koenma tells you instead of providing a greeting. "You and I have a lot to talk about."

"Wait...that's the guy you used to work for?" Bruce asks in disbelief. "He looks like a toddler."

"Lord Koenma is much older than he looks," Kasai informs Bruce. "And far more powerful. Disrespecting him is not wise."

Bruce looks down at the mirror you are holding nervously, giving a nod. "I..uh...I didn't mean anything, just that he looks so young..."

"I get that a lot," Koenma replies shortly. "Now, as I was saying, we have a lot to talk about."

"How do you figure that?" you ask Koenma.

"I'm not naïve," the young God tells you. "I know you haven't been listening to me, that you've been trying to keep doing your job even without my approval."

"Look, I'm sorry things didn't work out," you tell him. "But I'm willing to let bygones be bygones if you are."

"Well, I'm very glad to hear that," Koenma tells you. "I suppose we can bury the hatchet, so long as you don't cause me trouble."

"So, how's the new detective?" you ask. "Is he prettier than me?"

"She, actually," Koenma corrects. "Your replacement is a girl."

"That doesn't answer my question," you tell him. "Is she anyone I know? Is she cute?"

"I'm fairly certain you do not know her," Koenma replies. "And I don't think her appearance particularly matters."

"Okay, well what do you need to talk to me about?" you ask him. "Something to do with that guy that's involved with the Human Farms?"

"That's exactly what I want to discuss with you," Koenma confirms. "I had Spirit World Intelligence look into Benjamin Johnson, and we think that he really is the one behind the creation of Cultivated Humans. The problem is, he's surrounded himself with powerful demons in a well-fortified compound. Getting to him won't be easy, and I don't know if my detective can handle the job alone. I was hoping that you could lend her a hand when the time comes."

"Yes I would be happy to help, but it depends on when that mission will take place, hopefully not two weeks from now since I need to take care of another mission that might deal with Benjamin, meeting a demons servant by the name Kuraidesu "

>>41633615
>B. ¨Sure, but I want to meet her first. Maybe test the waters and see whats she's capable of. If she's strong I don't want to be her dead weight.¨

I don't want to sound condescending but so far we've needed Kasai's help for two major missions. So she may be stronger than us.

Now I want to surprise her by turning into a spooky skeleton with it's skull on fire and using fire magic

>>41633777
Screw you Koenma. I'm going to open up my own detective agency for spirits. With blackjack and hookers.

>>41633867
Why would we not have been a skeleton?

>>41633867
Just for giggles, we shouldn't put the outfit on in front of the spirit detective or Koenma.

The reaction later down the line when we reveal ourselves by removing our skelly helmet will be amazing.

Besides, as of yet it doesn't give us too much extra protection.

>>41633881
Cause I don't want her to full Nelson us and have Kaya smack her with her oar because we seem like a demon instead of the exdetective she is suppose to meet during our first encounter.

>>41633657

"Tell Kaya I said hello," you tell him. "And contact me in my dreams tonight. It's more secure that way, or so I hear."

"What? Who told you that?" Koenma asks in confusion. "Nevermind. I'll contact you tonight, then. Later."

The communication ends, and you close the Mirror, looking over at Bruce and Kasai.

"Working for your old boss again?" Bruce asks. "Not sure how much the new guy is gonna like that."

"He'll probably approve," Kasai assures him. "Koenma is right to believe that assailing the compound will be difficult. Extra help should be a good thing."

"I guess," Bruce says, shrugging. "Anyway, it's getting late, ready to head back to my place?"

Not really, Koe has our home under surveillance. All he has to do is make Kasai warn us or contact us when asleep if something bad is about to happen.

>>41634286
>A. Yes

>>41634311
"Yeah," you tell him.

"Continue your training when you can," Kasai instructs. "When it comes to life-or-death situations, you need every advantage you can get. I'll be back when you're ready for the next stage."

Kasai vanishes into the darkening sky, and Bruce helps you to his apartment. His parents are apparently out on a dinner date tonight, so asking permission for you to stay isn't really an issue. You and Bruce spend most of the evening talking and watching television, and you tell him a bit about your hunt for Mahou.

You sleep on Bruce's bedroom floor that night in a sleeping bag, and when you fall asleep, you find yourself standing in Koenma's office.

The "big" man himself is sitting calmly in his chair, looking between you and the other occupant of the room, whom you presume to be your replacement.

She looks to be about your age, maybe a little younger, with dirty-blonde hair and brown eyes. She looks at you with a distasteful expression, seeming to size you up as she looks you over.

"Thank you both for coming," Koenma tells you and the girl. "You know what we're here to discuss, but let's handle introductions first. This is my new Detective, Kara. Kara, this is-"

"I know who he is," Kara interrupts. "You and Kaya already told me about him. Can we get started?"

"Yes..." Koenma answers, his tone saying that he doesn't appreciate being interrupted. "Now, as you both know, you will be hunting down a man named Benjamin Disanto. He's well known by Spirit World, and has been involved in illegal activities for many years. With more pressing matters to deal with, we've let him go until now, but it seems he's becoming too dangerous now."

"So you want us to kill him?" Kara asks.

"No, I want you to capture him so we can bring him to Spirit World for interrogation," Koenma tells her. "But, he won't be easy to get to. His compound contains many traps, and he's apparently guarded by many tough demons."

>Continued

Oh boy, here we go

>Kara an absolute, complete and total SHIT

At least we know why Koenma wants us back, he can't fucking stand her! HAH

>>41634786
>Koenma somehow snaps up someone more bitchy than we were.

>>41634786
Koenma points behind you, and you turn to see a screen displaying a large building that appears to be in a forest somewhere. You spot armed guards patrolling the area, and something dashing through the trees.

"Neither one of you could handle this mission alone," Koenma explains. "But I'm hoping that, together, you can succeed."

"I haven't finished my training," Kara tells him. "If these demons are as strong as you say, I'm not ready to fight them yet."

"I know, neither of you are," Koenma responds. "We will make our move when your training is complete."

Koenma looks over at you. "It will be another six months before that happens. In the meantime, keep doing whatever it is you're doing. Your Spirit Energy is increasing, I can tell that much. Just don't cause any problems for Spirit World, and you can do what you want to get stronger."

"Hmph, I guess training with demons makes you better prepared to fight them," Kara says to you.

Because, he's us.

So he isn't a shit, we are.

>>41635453
Hmm
Guess you have a point.

Kinda

>>41635453
No. John's pretty much a dick but he means well. We know this because we're in his head. We don't know whats in Kara's head because she was just introduced. Maybe her entire family was eaten by demons and she was forced to watch as their souls were made into artificial humans and she was tortured until her spiritual powers awoke and she escaped and was recruited by Koenma.

...Course that would be super edgy and I doubt its anything like that.

>>41635040
"The key to fighting is to understand your opponent, rookie," you tell Kara. "Their strengths, their weaknesses, what they like and dislike, their capabilities and techniques. You can't expect to take them all out with brute force and luck. I'm still learning a bit about that, myself."

Koenma actually looks somewhat impressed with what you've just said, while Kara looks like she wants to punch you.

"You have a point there," Koenma admits, "But we both know you aren't training with Kasai to spy on her. Still, you're right; your experience with demons is part of the reason I asked you to take part in this mission."

"Can you tell me anything about the demons I'll be fighting?" you ask.

The image on the screen changes, showing a picture of a creature moving through the forest. It's a bit on the skinny side, black-skinned, with long, white hair stretching down his back. He has a long snout, and a long tongue stretching from it. His hands and feet are clawed, and he has a series of spikes running down his back.

"This is Vardaak," Koenma tells you. "He patrols the forest surrounding the compound. He's fast and powerful, and very good at finding his victims in the forest. We lost three of our intelligence agents to him."

"How many did you send?" Kara asks.

"Five," Koenma answers. "The last two tried to enter the compound, but one was caught by another of the demons."

The image changes again to a four-legged creature with what looks like hundreds of eyes covering its body. It looks somewhat reptilian, and even seems to have a snakelike mouth. Standing beside it is a large bipedal creature with four arms, and covered in red fur.

"These are the only other two demons our last agent was able to get intelligence on," Koenma explains. "But, we expect there are others inside. The four-legged creature is called a Nacinak. They're hound-like creatures that live in the demon realm. Their bodies are covered in eyes that can track body heat."

>Continued

>>41635453
Doesn't that just mean we're shits, and therefore John is too?

>>41635526
John acts as we have decided, and what we choose.

For all we know, had he not been the MC, he would be a well mannered hard working straight A student, who attends karate with Lucy and always complains about Bruce's antics.

So yes, it is -our- fault John is a shit as it is -our- choices which shaped him and forced him to act in the way -we- voted.

"So your agents never had a chance of getting past it," Kara guesses, pity in her voice.

"No, especially considering powerful that creature's nose is," Koenma tells her. "It probably knew they were coming before they even got past Vardaak. The demon with it is called Sashamp, and that's all we really know. No prior convictions, no known criminal record, but he tore my agent apart."

Koenma sighs, leaning back. "It's a rough bunch you'll be dealing with, which is why I need you both to be as strong as possible when the time comes to fight them."

"I'll do my best," Kara promises. "My training's coming well so far, and I'll give it everything I have."

"Good," Koenma tells her. "I expect no less."

He looks at you again. "You've gotten stronger since you stopped working for me, but it isn't enough. Train as hard as you possibly can!"

"Yes, please," Kara tells you. "I don't want to be slowed down, and I definitely don't want you to die on me when you're supposed to be helping me."

Make sure you're saying it to Koenma, ignore the bitch

>>41635705
>A. You'll do your best
"Now, there are some matters i need to talk to Koenma about in private."
And when she leaves, explain everything you've learned and done thusfar.

>>41635705

Ignore Kara.

Don't feed the trolls.

>>41635705
>A. You'll do your best
Rather have her story time when we at least get her to trust us. At the mean time we're that guy that got fired to her.

>So Vardaak is a speed demon who can track me better than a blood hound. Figure out a way to eliminate him before he knows we're there. Fast and hard.
>Nacinak is a blood hound with as many eyes as I do fears. Which by the way he's added one more to the list. We'll want to blind him, or block our heat signature.

>Sashamp the big guy we'll need to just take out the old-fashion way. Beat him to death until he stops moving.

>D. ¨D'aw. Your apathy for another human life is inspiring. Kara, let me guess. Your hiding behind this tough shell because really deep down your a tortured soul who is afraid of this dangerous world and you keep yourself closed off from other people because if you get to close-BAM they die on you. Of course that's a load of bullshit and you'll tell me 'ooh you don't know me, you don't know what I've been through' bullshit. Look. I had a demon snap my leg like a twig because I wasn't ready. I've seen the corpses of victims who were too unlucky to be saved. You don't want me to slow you down? Cut it with fucking attitude.¨

Something something anon trying to create knowledge about a new characters background even though nothing about her backstory has been revealed, because they acted rude to the MC during their first encounter.

"I'll do my best," you tell Koenma, ignoring Kara completely. "I was planning on getting stronger anyway, so thanks for the point of reference with some enemies."

You then look at Kara. "Now, there are some matters I need to talk to Koenma about in private."

"I was about to say the same thing," Koenma tells you. "That's all for now, Kara. Get some rest so you can give training your all tomorrow."

Kara nods respectfully at Koenma. "Yes, sir."

Giving you one last glare, Kara walks out the door, leaving you alone with your former boss, who shakes his head in disapproval.

"I apologize for her," Koenma says sincerely. "She doesn't hold a very high opinion of you."

>>41636171
Eh. In the Yu Yu Hakusho-verse not all devils are evil. So far he hasn't given us a reason to doubt him. Koenma's own interpretation of him might be skewed by old man's Enma's biased nature against the demon world.

After all it is a human whose doing the artificial human thing and not a demon.

>>41636082
"It's no big deal," you tell him. "But, you didn't make me look too bad, did you?"

"She asked about previous detectives, and I told her you were fired for disobeying orders," Koenma tells you. "She asks for specifics, so I told her about Kasai."

"Well, anyway, I've got some new information for you," you tell him.

You explain your arrangement with Koe, and everything that he's revealed to you about the demonic army being raised to attack the human world. Koenma doesn't act with any surprise, but lets you tell him everything before he speaks.

"I already know," he informs you. "I've had agents watching you since you were fired. When you told me about the voice in your head, I was naturally curious, so I decided to see who exactly it was and what their angle is. I have to say, Koe being involved was a surprise."

>>41636410
"What do you know about Koe?" you ask.

"Until recently? Nothing," Koenma answers. "My father never one mentioned him to me, so I had to get some information from our archives. Apparently Koe is one of the most ancient living demons, and once ruled a large portion of the Demon Realm. But, centuries ago, a powerful demon named Raizen rose up and took Koe's throne, and, as far as our records say, killed him. Some said he'd survived the battle with Raizen, but nobody's seen him in over five hundred years. If he's alive, then we could have a very dangerous situation on our hands."

He looks at you with a serious expression. "But you're apparently in a position of confidence with Koe, and that's what I want to talk to you about."

Koenma rises from his chair and floats over to you. "I'd like to offer you your job back, but secretly. As far as anybody else will know, you'll still be a former employee."

>A. Ask what purpose hiding that serves

Gonna have to get Koe and Koenma to sit down and talk to each other. All this cloak and dagger bullshit is going to get us killed.

>>41636808
This, since I like the fact that both sides need John, but at the same time Koenma doesn't want to work with demons, while Koe wants to team up with Spirit World if it means stopping the threat.

>>41636736
>A. Ask what purpose hiding that serves

this

>>41637015
I like Koe why would I want to screw him over for the dick that fired us.

>>41636808
"What purpose does hiding that serve?" you ask.

"Because if Koe doesn't know you're working for me again, you'll be able to find out what he's really up to, and, if necessary, help me stop him."

"He'll know I'm spying for you," you tell him. "He probably knows I'm here right now."

"Of course he does, that's why I announced our meeting ahead of time," Koenma tells you.

"Koe is guarding my family and friends," you tell him. "He has eyes everywhere, just like you. I'll work with you and Koe, but only because we'll need both of you to stop this."

Koenma sighs. "Very well. Just be careful with Koe, he's a lot more dangerous than you seem to realize."

>To be continued

That's it for tonight, next update should be this week. Follow me @qmdralo to see when a new thread is up.

I'll answer questions here for a while.

>>41637096
So is Kasai and Kara some how related. Like we find out later that she is actually somehow descended from our fiery teacher?

>>41637096
So is our leg still broken?

>>41637134
No.

>>41637153
Yes.

>>41637178
So is the spirit world still sucky because of Koenma's dad corruption?

>>41637200
Possibly

>>41637096
General standing with some of our reoccuring characters? Like the waifus

>>41637245
What is up with your obsession with the letter K?

>>41637267
Koincidence

>>41637245
Kaya considers you a good friend and is sad you got fired

Lucy thinks of you as a friend and is happy that you got a job and are staying out of trouble

Kasai is very pleased with you as a student, and considers you the most pleasant human she's ever met.

>>41637096
>Frankly. He'd say the same thing about you.

Sooooom. How're you? Life treating you good? I know you were under the weather and I hope you don't get sick again.

>>41637305
>half-demon babies with Kasai when?

>>41637054
We literally went against the guy who we know as good for a guy who kinda resembles satan, but he is a dick for firing us for not doing what he told us to do as out boss

So Kaya is Kara's assistant.

So is Kara just mad at us because we work with demons?

>>41637305
>Kaya considers you a good friend
>Lucy thinks of you as a friend

Shouldn't that be reversed?

>>41637355
Thanks anon, I'm getting better.

>>41637356
Uh...Idunno.

>>41637392
She is.

Also the fact that Kaya is constantly defending you.

>>41637393
Probably

>>41637456
Why have you been so sick lately in both ways?

>>41637456
>Also the fact that Kaya is constantly defending you.
That should just show her that we're awesome.
Has she gone through the hell training yet?

>>41637456
>Uh...Idunno.

So about 70 threads in, got it. Fuck.

They'd be adorable, though! Can I convince you to drop that number down to 40 threads?

>>41637507
What?

>>41637516
Yes

>>41637530

I'm assuming Koe will take any attempt at spying as a betrayal and act accordingly.

>>41638056
How would you react?

>>41638008
Anon if you wana bang Kasai, you are going to have to make John a master at fire magic otherwise she is going to burn his "John" if you rush into it.

>>41638024
Oh, you know, just traveling down a giant snake.

Wi-fi a bit spotty up here, though.

You've been doing well, when you aren't ill, it would seem!

>>41638107
Haha!

>>41638125
Yeah, I like not being ill

>>41638177
So how much pride did Koenma have to swallow to get in contact with us again. My guess is not a lot.
